Peeling Away the Exterior to Remodel: After

About a month into the renovation, I realized that I was really good at demo, but really didn't have a clue as to what needed to be done after that. I learned then the true value of family. My mother informed me that my dad and two uncles were on their way up from Oklahoma to help out for a couple of weeks. Having the ability to spend time with them in the renovation was the most rewarding experience of the entire project.
